– Bristol: The first meeting our network has held in the city will be a workshop at the Saturday September 12th anarchist bookfair, and is on the subject of ‘The spirit of utopia today’.
The event takes place at The Island, Bridewell St, Bristol, 10.30am to 6pm. Our session is from 5pm in Room 2 (first floor).

– West Midlands: we participate in the Coventry Radical Network and will also be initiating a meeting on local organising work. If you’re interested in the meeting or our network, call Dave on 02476 450027.

– Wrexham: we are planning a series of meetings around the title “Storming the heavens—alternatives to capitalism”. Paper sales will also be launched in and around the town centre.

– North-West: if you’re in Blackpool, Preston or the surrounding area, contact uncaptiveminds@gmail.com. We will also have a stall outside the Manchester Anarchist Bookfair on September 26th (Jabez Clegg, 2 Portsmouth Street, near Manchester University Students’ Union) and a meeting on Latin America in the evening (more details to follow).

– South Yorkshire-based activists interested in The Commune should get in touch with Barry in Sheffield on 07543 652629.

Yes indeed. Rather a pity, since the Bristol bookfair organisers would let us have one. Obviously it’s their event and they only want anarchist groups, but I think dialogue and debate is always useful and we don’t want to look like we’re standing outside leeching off it but refusing to go in!

We are planning to hold a meeting on Latin America in Manchester that evening, however, which people might come to after the bookfair. More details shortly…
